Security type

Security is used to validate the identification of each device or computer that is attempting to access a

network. The security type used on a network is determined during network design and depends on the

network security requirements. Consequently, security methods are closely associated with encryption

options that are also used on the network.

HP Jetdirect wireless print servers support the following security types:

●

No security. No encryption or authentication is used. Open system. Your wireless network does

not require device authentication or security to access the network. However, your network might

use WEP encryption keys for data privacy.

●

WEP-Personal. Each device on your wireless network uses a shared encryption key (a shared

password value) for network access and communication. Each device on the network must use

the same key. The HP Jetdirect print server supports IEEE 802.11 WEP keys for encrypted network

communications.

●

WEP-Enterprise. The network uses WEP with EAP/802.1x authentication. This type of security

utilizes a central authentication server, such as RADIUS, to authenticate users on the network. The

HP Jetdirect print server supports these server-based authentication protocols: LEAP, PEAP, and

EAP-TLS.

●

WPA/WPA2–Personal. Your network uses wi-fi protected access (WPA) with a pre-shared key

that is typically generated by a pass-phrase. WPA encryption is normally used for wireless

communication and offers improved security.

●

WPA/WPA2–Enterprise. Your network uses WPA with EAP/802.1x authentication. This type of

security utilizes a central authentication server, such as RADIUS, to authenticate users on the

network. The HP Jetdirect print server supports these server-based authentication protocols:

LEAP, PEAP, and EAP-TLS.
